</Story>

This sub mod was to be based on a 20 BBY start or about near the end of the clone wars, right? If that is correct, the author could implement a order 66 event to mark the start of the Empire. Like the one used on the raw mod. Would be awesome to start the campaign with the order 66 and the transition from republic to empire.

Thanks for the help, everything worked out.

Was able to change the emperor pic and it worked nicely, looks great in the gameplay. Thank you!      

The changes in the xml file on the starting forces didn't worked. Nothing changed. Tried it two times. 

Apologies for posting back to back. But I have a last question; how can I change the picture of a hero? This may sound stupid, but I want to change thehero (emperor palpatine) pic. I want to use the modern revenge of the sith emperor pic and not the current which is from the older movies. Again, sorry for the double post.
